VPHUD stands for Virtual Pilot Head-Up Display
What is VPHUD?
Have you ever felt the need to look at the aircraft fixed gauges, because it had no HUD?
Have you ever crashed your aircraft because you were distracted looking at such gauges?
Have you ever wished the Advanced Flight Model GUI existed in the Standard Flight Model?
If that's your case then I'm glad to tell you that VPHUD seeks to solve all those problems and wishes you ever had before.
VPHUD is a seamless addon that adds two virtual gauges to all aircraft which do not have native HUD support.
A Artificial Horizon to help you understand when your airplane is upside down, or if you're landing your helicopter perfectly leveled.
A Vertical Speed Indicator to give you crucial information if the landing you're attempting to make is too harsh for your aircraft to handle.
Some other misc information is also available such as height from surfaces (not ground terrain) and speed.
How it works?
As mentioned before, the addon works seamlessly without the need for any configuration.
All you have to do is get in a aircraft as pilot, and the VPHUD will pop up immediatly.
At the left will show up the Vertical Speed Indicator and at the right the Artificial Horizon.
Aircraft that have built-in HUDs will not make VPHUD appear.
But that's not all, you can change VPHUD's settings by scrolling and selecting "VPHUD Options".
What can I change?
In VPHUD's Options menu you'll be able to:
Change the System of Units between Metric System and Imperial System.
Change VPHUD scale and positioning.
Enable a virtual crosshair and change its color. . You can use the crosshair only if you don't care about the gauges.
Force/unforce VPHUD to show up, ignoring built-in filtering options.
How to aim the crosshair?
When NOT zoomed in the player aims with the V's top (default view), when zooming in the player aims with the bottom end of the V (right click zoom).
Issues
Gauges scalling algorythm needs improvement.
Altitude bar sometimes getting behind the Vertical Speed Indicator is a expected behaviour.
Pitch not perfectly accurate.
Aside from that, none that I'm aware. Let me know if you find any.
Planned Improvements
Throttle indicator.
Better crosshair customisation.
Change pitch degrees scale from 10º to 15º.
Another VPHUD styling that replicates real aircraft HUDs. Meanwhile this may interest you.

Hello everyone!
I'm Texturer and Mapper of a German RPG-Community and wanted to ask you here, if someone could help me with my problems.
First of all, we started with a new Airport and wanted to create it's own airline for the fictive Island of Great Lakeside. So I started a while ago to make GreatLakesideRegio-textures for some planes. Sadly the planes got a few problems as Arma 3 was updated to a new version. I Think it was the last one..
The Problem is:
The Boeing 737-800 retracts its wheels normally in singleplayer. So far so good. But in Multiplayer it retracts them, then by doing nothing they show up again, and that rhytm doesn't stop until I press G again, to normally let the wheels down again. We tried different ways to locate the problem but I really don't know why this is happening. And also just in Multiplayer... In Singleplayer it works all fine.
The second problem is the typical issue that came with the Planes DLC. The well known CRJ-200 from Ivory is the problem. As many other models after the DLC-Update it bounces if you're rolling to the runway or want to start it. Ivory has stopped working on it long time ago, so I was wondering if someone of you guys could try to fix it.

Thank you for reeding and accepting my bad English,
Cheers!

I cannot seem to lock onto Targets with Laserguided Bombs anymore, can anyone help me with this? I am using the internal Laser of the Airplane, when i then try to lockonto my laser it does not work. Also at the top it says LOAL? Can anyone help me? Im probably just dumb.

Hi all,
i started learning ARMA modding.
My goal is to make flyable plane.
The model was created in 3DSMax and textured in Substance Painter.
So far got it inside Object Builder have a hard time i got glitches all over my model.
But when i exported it as 3ds format not obj or fbx all gone.
Now i have texture on my model and basic rvmat need make more and somehow learn the settings.
I have problem with external glass i was unable to see inside but i created one more layer of glass and inverted normals and it looks to work. Dunno if is a good way t do.
Now i need to learn rvmat, lods and i think i need to create very low models for shadow and collision.
Here is th plane model on sketchfab
Ver 1 and Ver 2
Here is printscreen from OB rvmat need to be tveaked

Good evening,
I have been trying to implement physX into my custom airplane, but something is clearly wrong. Not sure if it is a common mistake, so for the time being I'll show you a video of my problem.
Whenever I start a game with the airplane, either Editor or Virtual Arsenal, the plane starts moving forwards on it's own accord, with the engine Off.
The thing is, the door and cabin close, and the wheels do rotate, so it's not like the model is just "slipping".
Here's the vid:

Not sure if it's some basic command I've missed or what but it's driving me crazy.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your time!

Hi Guys,
my second project and this time for AI aircrafts.
Helicopter Patrol
Fixed Wing Patrol
Features
Developed for AI Aircraft (helicopters and fixed wings)
Aircraft patrols between markers and adjusts the height based on setup
Possiblity to limit speed
In case enemy is noticed during patrol, aircraft engages
Intel share from ground units in search distance. Which means if there is ongoing battle air unit will be aware of enemy positions if they are in search distance (adjustable)
Adjustable communication delay for intel share
Restarting the patrol after aircraft finds no more enemy after an engagement
Possibility to have multiple aircraft patrols in a scenario
Script can be called from triggers or init.sqf
Detecting all enemies inside kill zone. From now on aircrafts will not ignore infantry which do not fire on them. Advanced optics will detect all inside kill zone (adjustable)
Return to base (RTB) if fuel is low (20% considered as bingo fuel)
RTB based on damage situation (less tolerance to damage during normal flight compared to being in combat)
RTB based on ammo. The decision is made based on cannon ammo count.
RTB if gunner dies.
Refuel, repair and reload ammo at base
Target priority rules. Enemy aircrafts are highest value targets. After that comes tanks, armored vehicles, static weapons and infantry. Dense enemy formations have value multiplier which means 10 infantry in close formation is more valuable target than a single Humwee
Laser guidence is used if aircraft has any missiles/bombs which can benefit from laser lock.
Future Plans
Possibility to have multiple bases
Known Issue(s)
I didn't code anything to improve the aiming of AI pilots. So still vanilla skils and attack methods are in play which means helicopters are also doing fly by to attack and they cannot hit that accurate.

Usage
Details are in readMe.txt inside the zip. Examples about how to add custom code or adjust patrol behaviour are inside AirPatrolEnd.sqf. Sample mission can be found above.
Version History
v.2.1
Fixed: Independent aircrafts were not using laser guidence.
Fixed: Logic Objects on map can cause aircraft to stuck in combat mode over an area as such objects might be categorized as enemy.
Added: After attack while waiting the restart countdown, aircrafts will do loiter over the area.
Tweaked: Some code optimizations.
v.2.0
Fixed: Workaround applied due to bug in BIS_fnc_EnemyTargets function which does not consider static weapons as enemy
Added: Fixed wing support
Added: RTB based on ammunition
Added: RTB if gunner is dead
Added: Aircraft uses laser for guided bombs

Tweaked: Adjustable ServiceTime option removed from script call. Service time is now depending on how much fuel is missing or how much damage is taken
Tweaked: AltitudeArray removed from script call. Multi-dimensional array will be used to hold markers and altitude together
v.1.0
Initial version
Enjoy!

Hi there,
I'm currently making a WW2 airborne style mission for me and a couple of friends, but I've run into a problem. After struggling with the respawning inside of a vehicle for a while I've finally managed to do it with the help of a trigger, but now I've run into a new problem: the vehicle they're spawning in is a C-47, but because the AI can't keep them in the air for long I've had to disable the simulation so that they don't spawn inside a crashed airplane.
The problem with that is that when simulation is disabled, they are unable to move around inside it, and can't jump out. So I'm stuck with a respawn that is either a crashed plane, or a static plane they can't jump out of. Does anyone know of a way of making the plane stay static in the air but still being able to get out/getting kicked out as soon as they spawn inside it?
Or is there a way to make the AI fly around the AO for a undetermined amount of time without it crashing?
Any help would be appreciated!

I've been working on a custom airplane but I've been having problems with the gear.
So far I have:
-Geo + PhysX LOD both have the three wheels defined as "wheel_1", "wheel_2" and "wheel_3" and each as "Component XX"
-All components in both LODs are closed and convex.
-These names (wheel_1, wheel_2 and wheel_3) are the named selections on the visual LODs, and properly named in the model.cfg
-Config file has driveOnComponent[] = {"wheel_1","wheel_2","wheel_3"};
-LandContact LOD has three points, one beneath each wheel
If I start the plane in mid air in the mission Editor, the gear system works fine. Wheels retract perfectly. But once the plane hits the ground, they stop working (meaning If I land and take off again, gear won't retract anymore).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18zKmc8nR68
When I start the plane on the ground (virtual arsenal or mission Editor) the plane seems to be rolling on square wheels.. (?) and bobs from one side to another, moves o the sides....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxBBacUhs1o
If I manage to take off (it is very difficult because the plane barely gains speed and is moving all over the place) the gear doesn't retract (the option to do so doesn't show up, nor toggling "G")
Sometimes the plane bumps so much that it explodes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyEmD_DJWSU
I have lost too much hair already and am very nearly on the verge of ending with martinezfg11 's patience, who has kindly been trying to help me out.
So any hints you can spare, will be greatly appreciated!
